Route 130 Fatalities and Injuries

I've decided to make a list of the fatalities on my section of Route 130 from the last few years. The road is full of dangerous, sometimes drunken drivers (many coming from the Merion Caterers in Cinnaminson) and I'd love to see some more police activity there.

May these victims of Route 130 rest in peace.

2010-01-04, Robert Schick, Delanco, 66 years old, killed
2010-01-04, Doris Ross, Unknown, 69 years old, injured

For the record, Dottie's last name was spelled wrong and my Father was sober at the time of the accident.

John, I'm sorry to hear about your father---I never said, or implied, that he was drunk.

I don't believe that the newspaper account did so either. The last I heard was that an investigation was pending.

If you could provide me with the correct spelling of Dottie's last name I'd be glad to correct it.

How is she doing? I know she was in critical condition.

My Route 130 comments are intended 130 to express my concern over the condition of the roadway, the people who speed, the lack of police coverage on the road, the drunks exiting the Merion Caterers (those I've seen first hand), and the pedestrians who place themselves in harms way by having to negotiate the equivent of a Nascar raceway in order to get to work, shop, etc.

It's amazing to me there aren't more accidents on this road.
